I saw Shy's post on a Taiwanese drama, so I decided to post on a drama series I have been following.
What I like about this drama, you say? Well, firstly, it's a detective drama (my fave <3). There's a variety of crimes ranging from murder to fraud. Oooo, how I love the suspense. Secondly, Takahashi Ai from Morning Musume is acting in it! Haha...
Anyway, before I forget, Blessed Lunar New Year!

Guess it's a little late to update on Christmas, but nevertheless, we had a huge Christmas production. I am,
Overall, Christmas was a blast!!!
In between Christmas and New Year, I had a little gathering with Winston and Odelia at T3. Goodness knows why were we there. Oh, by the way, Popeyes' were really tasty. I give it 5 stars. =D
Ah, now comes to New Year. Before going forth to 2009, let's step back to 2008 for a moment. The two most significant events in 2008 for me was taking up the role as a youth leader intern, and BOL church camp '08.
Although I've been an intern for almost a year now, but I still feel that I have not done much. So I hope in the coming year, I will be able to contribute more and be a more reliable intern to the youths.
During church camp, God has already set the path for me to follow. I think I'm still at the preparatory stage. So I hope I'll be able to speed up and start walking!
Now, where was I? Oh yes, New Year. This year's Crossover service was a really memorable one. I did interpretation for the first time ever! Was having linner with my buds when suddenly, Pastor Kris called. "I'm going to give a 3 minutes testimony later, can you interpret for me?" I almost fainted on the spot. Fast forward to the service, to the moment, I was so nervous that I didn't know what I was saying. What makes interpreting so difficult is that unlike speeches or presentations, where you know what you are going to say, you have no idea what the person is going to say, and you have to listen to the person's sentence(s), digest it, translate it in your head, and say it out, all within 5 seconds. There were a few times I was lost, but thank God for Pastor Kris' graciousness and patience, she even kindly wait for me to finish before going on to her next sentence. I've seen speakers who totally ignored their interpreters when their speech is going onto the climax. The interpreter literally have to fight to interpret. If I were the one interpreting for them, I guess that would had been my first and last chance to do so. I hope if there's a chance again, I'll be better prepared.
So those were the most memorable moments of 2008 I can think of now. Oh, and not forgetting to mention, my Japan trip back in February! I'm definitely going back there again!
That was the longest entry I've done in awhile. Everyone who is reading this now,
BLESSED NEW YEAR! MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE!!!
